We Are Family

Thirty-three-year-old Ruth Henderson and her daughter Maggie have some hard choices to make. Following the tragic death of Maggie’s father, they are left with a mountain of debt and broken hearts. So, despite her vow never to return home after the fall-out from her teenage pregnancy, Ruth can’t see any option other than for the two of them to move back in with her parents.

Going home means many things – finally confronting her estranged father, navigating her mother’s desperate need to make everything ok despite the wobbles in her own marriage, not to mention helping a still-grieving Maggie to settle into a new school, find new friends, and stop expressing her emotions through her ever-changing hair colour.

What Ruth needs are friends, but she abandoned her childhood ones when she left all those years ago. Luckily for Ruth, they haven’t abandoned her. Slowly she lets herself be embraced by a group of women who have always had her back – even when she didn’t know it. And as the grief and shock recede, Ruth can even begin to imagine sharing her life with someone other than just Maggie – if Maggie will let her.

My Review:

We Are Family is a deeply emotional tale of life after loss. Going home was never in Ruth's plans but tragic circumstances dictated she uproot her and her daughter and move in with Ruth's parents. A mother who stays active to remain relevant and a father who avoids Ruth and Maggie. This is a wonderful, feel-good story.

The author wrote a very realistic book with shaky family dynamics and I found myself immersed in Ruth's tale. The setting in the story was wonderfully described. The characters were complex and fully developed. I enjoyed the writing style of the author. The author wrote a very realistic book with plenty of emotion, passion, and realism. I enjoyed watching Ruth grow and work through some very difficult personal choices.

I was provided a copy of this book to read.
